Hats off to the Belfry defense. They were very solid. They substitute situationally well, Queen got off the ball well, Woolum was a dependable safety who kept things in front of him.
Dre Young was the difference on the Pirates’ defensive edge. He regularly brought good pressure.
He also had some really good yards after contact in the second quarter to propel the offense.
Like Outlaw Josey, I felt like Belfry was physically dominant until about the 7 minute mark in the third. Then LC had a lot of defensive momentum and were causing some problems offensively.
Before I hit the bed, I have to say that I was impressed with courageous efforts from Young and Varney. Both were favoring injuries but gutted it out. Woolum is a terrific all around player and just changes the pace of things for them.
I’ll also say LC’s schedule isn’t stellar, but given how many pups play big roles right now, it is about what it ought to be. And given the givens, it seems like the Bulldogs weren’t hurt by not playing great teams early. They went into Pond Creek and nearly swiped one.
Good game, and hope and pray 75 is ok and gets to play soon.
